ment had determined TO encourage the
making of this class of iron equally with

could show the protection they required
he would endeavor to meet their views.

Attemntad Assassination.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-A telegram re-
ceived at the Navy Department two weeks
ago stated that Lieutenant NJ. K. Schwenk
had accidentally shot himself while on
duty as officer of the watch on the Aleat.
Mail advices received to-day put a more
serious light on the matter. While on
duty on the vessel Lieutenant Schwenk
stopped to pick up a revolver, which proved
to have been tied in such a manner that
when lifted a bowline slipped over the
trigger, causing a discharge. Commander
Graham reports that there can be no doubt
that there was a plan to assassinate some
officer of the vessel and that he has ordered
a searching investigation. Lieutenant
Schwenk was seriously wounded in his left
wrist and blood poisoning is feared.

civil service came up for consideration IN
the Commons this evening, Dillon led the

thing to please the Parnellltes, VINO COM
planned that his salary was too large, while
Colonel King Harman received no salary
at all, and that he knew nothing about
Ireland, while Colonel King Harman
knew too much.
Smith defended the appointments. The

Suicide of George Muir, a Telegraph
Operator OF Albur uerque N. NJ.
ALBURQuERQUE, N. M, May 16.-George
Muir, who arrived here last Monday, and
had been on spree ever since, on Sunday
climbed to the roof of his boarding
house, taking with him rc pc. evidently
to hang himself. he took off his coat,
vest, hat and gold wstch-chain and laid
them on the roof with some money. He
then took a long steel-bladed paper cutter
from his vest pocket and plunged the keen
instrument in close proximity to the juglar
vein, but missed it, although cash two
and half inches long and two inches wide
was made. Blood marks indicate that he
attempted to descend from the roof, but
hesitated at the edge and then jumped to
the ground, distance of twelve feet, into
a rear yard, then climbed high board
fence at the side of an ash house. Here he
evidently rested, as pool of blood covered
the roof. He then let himself down into q
vacant lot adjoining and made his way
across lots and through an alley to Front
street and Acqueia, where his wet clothing
indicated that he fell into the water or
made an attempt to complete his work of
self-destruction, but struggled out on
the bank, where he fell exhausted
and died while struggling to rise again.
The deceased was thirty-eight years of age
and had been employed as a military tele-
graph operator at Ft. Whipple and Pres
cott for the past six years.

ARCHBISHOP coRRIGAN.
Views of the Catholic PreIate on Some of
the Popular Errors of the Day.

the HOpulaf ErrOrS OF the Days
NEW YoRK. May 6-Archbishop Corri-
gan made his canonical visitation to the
Church OF the Sacred Heart this morning.
Low mass was celebrated, at the conclusion
of which the Archbishop spoke on the pop
ular errors which, he said, were widely
prevalent at the present time. The first OF
these was the idea that private ownership
OF land was unjust. This idea the Arch
bishop characterized as a fallacy against
both philosophy and common sense, and
as sgainst the teachings OF the Catholic
Church. Those who claimed that land,
like sunshine and air, was the free gift of
God, and equally the property of all
overlooked the great difference that sun
and air can not become private property,
as can land. He declared that every man
had right TO acquire by honest means as
much property as ne could, and cited the
Indians as an example of the disastrous re-
suits of the free land policy" The arch
bishop also said that the idea was in direct
opposition to decree of the Pope, and
that those who favored it knew that they
were infringing on the ordinances of God.
The second error which the archbishop
wished to combat was that the Pope mad
the right to command to be obeyed only
in matters of faith and morals and when
speaking as infallible. This idea had been
decreed false by the Vatican Council, who
had declared that ''if any one should say
that the Pope had right to command in
matters of faith and morals. but not in
discipline, let him be anathema."

THE BONE OF CONTENTION
Views of the HOrseman Relative to the
Removal Of Secretary Vail.

Views OF the HOrseman Relative TO the
Removal of Secretary Vail.
CHICAGO, May I6.-Referring to the re-
moval of Secretary Vail, of the National
Trotting Association, the Horseman, of
this city, tomorrow. speaking for the
rival American Association, will say:
There are some good men connected with
the National Trotting Association land who
have recently occupied offices in that
institution) who imagine that because
Vail hes been put out, the bone of conten-
ton is removed. This would have been
all right had Vail not been reelected last
December but not so now. The American
TrottiDg Association has been organic ed
and it never will give up its organization.
1t started out with clean record, it is offic-
cred by as good men as the world can pro-
duce-men that not one word detrimental to
their integrity or social standing has ever
been spoken. The members of the Ma
tional Trotting Association, their friends
or any person in the community who
thinks that the American Trotting Associ-
tion will give up their charter and org'n-
ization and return to the old association,
are vastly mistaken. That the location Of
the American Association is one which
would naturally command the patronage of
a great number of Western associations, no
one can deny; the National Trotting Asso-
citation being located in Hartford, would
naturally do the business of the Eastern
States. II there are to be two associations,
and there certainly will be unless the
National is consolidated with the Ameri-
can, then they should be managed so as to
be on good terms with each other and
assist each other IN promoting and further
ing the interests they represent. Time
will soon tell whether it is better for two
associations to exist or not"

A Proposal to Adjourn the Commons From
May "a to June 6.

May "a to June 6.
LONDON, May 16.-The proposal of Mr..
Smith that the House of Commons adjourn
for Whitsuntide holidays, from May 81
to June 6, leaves the House only tour
nights for debate on the coercion bill be-
fore adjournment, as all other sittings will
be occupied with the estimates. 1t is
doubtful whether the first clause OF the
coercion bill can be passed before adjourn
ment.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt proposes
an important amendment TO the bill ex-
emptIDg from secret inquiry all proceed
ings relating to public meetings or agrariaD
movements, including combinations to OBJ
tam reductions of rent. The Gladstonians
will make this test amendment. IL the
Government accepts it the bill will be per-
mitted to progress; but if the Government
refuses every possible device will be used
to obstruct the measure.
The Government will modify the Irish
land bill in the House of Lords. The
original clause enabled solvent tenants to
apply for a reduction of rent under appeal
in bankruptcy. 1t is now proposed as a
substitute that joint application be made
for bankruptcy order by both landlord
and tenant, and that the court be empow-
cred to stay eviction without declaring
bankruptcy by granting an extension OF
time for payment.

Complaining of High Rates.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Western railroad of
fcials are in a turmoil over the special
rates demanded by the manufacturing
centers along the Mississippi River and in
Iowa. These interests have built up
through series of years by special rates,
and are badly hurt by the tariffs estab-
lished after the passage of the interstate
law. 1t is understood that the Western
lines have informally decided not to
abandon these interests, but to put in
special commodity rates on iron, steel and
manufactured articles to the river cities,
and to extend the same to the interior Iowa
centers. A meeting will be held here to-
morrow, and indications are that the fifth
class tariff rate, which embraces manu-
factured articles, will be reduced to meet
the views the complaining manufacturers.

The UItimatum of a Chicago Contractor
to His Employees.


to His Employees.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE initial step in Sc
curing the coIHplete lockout of all carpen-
tiers was taken to-day by q contractors who
informed his men that hereafter it was ten
hours work or nothing. The carpenters
were united in stopping work. This re-
turn to the ten.hour day was discussed at
a recent meeting of the Master Carpenters
Association, but was finally laid upon the
table. The present state of affairs shuts out
all carpenters at work upon brick or stone
buildings, but does not affect those at work
on frame buildings, hence the only way to
secure a complete lockout of those labor
eIs is to demand that they return to the
longer day.
The material-supplies men are now
thoroughly banded together, and represent
e combination that alone would cause a
lockout.
The brickyards will shut down on We'd
nesday and remain closed until the exist
ing difficulties are smoothed over. The
tile manufacturers will follow suit. AT
the headquarters of the Br1cklayer's Asso-
citation this morning it was stated that
many of the workmen have returned to
work the employers showing disposition
to give way upon the payday question.
The leaders of the union express them
selves as being well satisfied with the
present aspect OF affairs, and do not antici'
pate prolongation of the strike.

WASHINGTON, Ind, May 16.-Mr. Alex
ander II. Doherty is an old, respectable
and welLknown citizen of Washington,
whose character for truthfulness can not
be questioned any more than those who
know him best would doubt his sanity.
Consequently q statement that he would
make in due seriousness could not but
have weight with the people who have en-
joyed his acquaintance for many years,
even if it should be of a rather incredible
nature. A strange circumstance happened
him recently, the story Of which he
related to reporter as follows:
Early on the morning of the Goth of
April, Mr.. Doherty was lying in his bed
rooms at his handsome residence on Flora
street, when his attention was attracted by
plain footballs on the floor of his room, and
a voice called softly, but distinctly:
Brother Alexp Mr.. Doherty recognized
the voice of a sister who was LIVING in
Texas, and whom he bad not seen for more
than twenty years. Notwithstanding the
footballs and the voice there was no one to
be seen in the room. AS may be imagined,
the incident made profound impression
on his mind and he gave it much serious
thought. A few days later, he learned
that his Texas sister was dead, though he
has not yet secured the particulars of her
death and the exact time when her spirit
passed away. People who know of the
story will await snxiously foT the further
deyelOpments.

SILVER BY THE TON.
Discovery OF Immense Amount of
Treasure IN India.

LONDON, May 16.-The Financial Sec
TetaTy of India has advised the Govern
ment of the discovery of an immense
amount of treasure, estimated over $25,-
600, eco, which has been secreted in the
palace Of Givalion, by the late Maharajah.
The treasure had been sunk in pits under
the vaults beneath the SZenara. The secret
was entrusted to few confidential servants.
The Secretary was present when the trea.-
ure was unearthed. After removing the
earth to depth of six feet the workmen
unearthed great fagstones. Beneath these
were several pits filed to the brim with
silver, chiefly freshly coined rupees. In
each set was a plate recording the
amount of treasure and the names
of the officials who assisted in Sc
creting it. The Indian Government
has taken the hoard as loan from the
young Maharaiah. The native papers pro.
test against this action. They say that had
the Maharajah been an adult instead of
under a regency controlled by the Govern
menf, he would never have invested his
whole wealth in Indian securities. The
question will be raised in Parliament as to
whether the Investment" be not another
name for seizure.

Schwartz only 120 and he lacked training
besides. The ten rounds were fought, but
Schwartz was helpless to defend himself
and was finally carried off the scene bleed
ing and battered. Both eyes were closed
and great black and blue spots stood out

brutal fight eyer witnessed d in Northern

They Want an Increase of Wa ges.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 16.-The Italians
employed at the stone quarry of the Con-
solidated Road, near Fairfield, struck this
morning for an increase in wages from
$1.25 to $1.35 per day. There 600 Italians
and Hungarians employed, the former
being in the majority. The latter were
willing to work at the former wages, but
were prevented with threats and revolvers
at the hands of the former, conse-
ouently no work was done to-day.
A number of Deputy Sheriffs and
Constables from this city and
vicinity were called upon to preserve the
peace. Six Italians acted as ring-leaders,
and threatened to prevent work to-mor-
row. 1t is probable that the advance asked
for will be given and the matter settled.

CoNDEmN1NG THE OOERCIoN BILL.
Speech of Sir George Treyelyan at the Ban
quet of the Eighty Club.


LONDON, May 16.-Sir George o. Trev-
elyan, speaking at :he banquet of the
Eighty Club tonight, strongly condemned
the coercion bill as unjust, and
exssperatiRg to the Irish people. He said
what divided the Liberals was not the ques-
tion of granting home rule to the Irish,
but granting them liberty. Although
the text of Mr.. Gladstone's bills
was dead. their spirit OF generosity and
confidence toward Ireland stlll existed. IL
Lord Harrington and his followers desired
to return to the Liberal party they would
be welcomed, and treaty of peace
might be formed, based upon the
four conditions set forth in Lord
Hartington's electoral address. The speak
er blamed the Unionists for adopting an
attitude of hostility before they knew
whether or not the Gladstonians
would accept their conditions. He
believed that there were not more
than twenty Liberals in the Commoners
who desired to exclude the Irish members
from Westminster, and there was not one
of those twenty not willing to give up the
point in order to secure the return of
Harrington to the Liberal ranks. He
1sunted Lord Salisbury with having taken
office with the help Of Parnellite votes.

The Telephone Gases.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-There is much
speculation among persons interested in
the telephone cases, as to the time when
the decision of the court in those csaes
will be rendered. So far ss is known the
court has given no intimation of the in
tention to decide the matter at the present
term. The prevailing impression among
lawyers seems to be that If the court has
concluded to affirm the judgments of the
lower courts an announcement to that ef-
feet will be made before the final adjourn
ment next week, and that the opinion Will
be prepared at the leisure of the court
during the summer vacation.

Plaquemine parish, accompanied by
George Osmond, Editor of the Plsquemirfe
Protector, started out to arrest the maniac.
When they approached Williams he
opened fire upon them, shooting Osmond

house. The house was then set on fire in
order to dislodge Williams, and when he
came out to get water TO extinguish the
flames, he was shot dead by the Sheriff.
